For over 130 years; the Erie Railroad�s Newburgh branch was a key factor in the economic and social life of the city of Newburgh; New York; and the towns that had stations along its 19-mile route between Newburgh and the Erie main line. Only five miles of this once vital rail link survive today. Looking at this lightly used rail spur today; the casual passerby would have no hint of the rich history that can be seen for only a moment from the car window. Erie Railroad�s Newburgh Branch will take both dedicated and new railfans back to the days when rail travel was every town�s modern mode of transport as well as its economic lifeblood. It was a simpler time; before the age of air travel and America�s love affair with a new invention called the automobile.
